(OP)
Is there a way to automatically make a drawing reload it's sheet format, if I've made a change to the sheet format file?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Sheet Format
Have you called your VAR or talked to them about getting training?
From the past few questions you have asked you should really call your VAR and have them help you out.

RE: Sheet Format
We can't afford training right now. I'll try to tone down my questions, I got a little carried away with this site I suppose
RE: Sheet Format
To answer your question... No if you open an old drawing it will load the sheet format that it was saved with. You will have to do the above to reload the sheet format and then save the file. Now the next time that drawing is opened it will have the new format.

RE: Sheet Format
We change something on our templates at least 4 times a year. Our company name changed 3 times in the last 4 years.
What I did to replace our old format with a new format was to record a SolidWorks macro. Start the SolidWorks record function. Right mouse click on drawing, click properties. Set the sheet format to none. While the macro is still running, set the Sheet Format to Custom. Browse to your format. Stop macro from recording, save to name like Sheet1Form.swb. Assign to a macro key, like F10. I did not even have to edit the macro. It runs for others and me in our department right out of the box. I am starting to like this SolidWorks macro recorder. It gets better all the time.

RE: Sheet Format
Ladies and gentlemen – Friends of all ages – Have we just found another Easter Egg that I missed?
Was that a new in SW2003? I tried to find a way to create a macro that started automatically when a SW first opened a file a couple of years ago and never did find a way to make it happen. – I am really confused by your statement though. For that to work, wouldn’t Andy330hp have to open every drawing to insert the macro / or am I missing something vital. – You can obviously tell that I haven’t seen this before.

Pdybeck brings up a good point. If you modify anything on a drawing (including the boarder info), you should rev-up the document.
